Diane and Doug are tremendous hosts in a very special place. No detail was left undone.
We were greeted warmly and introduced to our room and all its luxurious amenities. This is a wonderful base for exploring Ohio City!

My wife and I spent 3 wonderful nights at J Palen House. It was our 1st trip to Cleveland and the neighborhood was a perfect welcome to our 10 day trip to the Midwest. Quiet, calm area that had a small town charm even though it is right across the bridge from a major downtown area. As for the stay it could not have been more perfect. The hospitality was warming, the room/sleeping area was very comfortable. Had coffee on the patio every morning. Breakfast was the best part. Homemade every day and a different selection of fresh fruit, baked goods, and a main dish each day. For anyone looking to escape the noise and anxiety of daily life I would reccomend staying at the J Palen House to unplug and unwind. Thank you Diane and Doug. Also thank you Charen for the daily touch ups.

Incredibly charming, cozy, and romantic ambience! My husband and I stayed in the Retreat for our first married Valentine’s Day!

Everything was lovely and it truly felt like a retreat. The bed was so comfortable and we had our own...See More

Everything was lovely and it truly felt like a retreat. The bed was so comfortable and we had our own fireplace in the bedroom! Loved the luxurious jacuzzi tub! I highly recommend this lovely B&B!

I stayed with my son for one night on our way to drop him off at college in Chicago. Our room in the barn was spotlessly clean, quiet and comfortable with great bedding and amenities. And, we loved staying in and exploring the Ohio City neighborhood. The J. Palen House was SO MUCH nicer than the five-star hotel we stayed in last year downtown. We'll be back!
